HOW SWORD BEARER DIED.
Inspector General Armstrong Tells
the Story.
A CHAPTER ON INDIAN WARS.
Interesting Details of the Recent
Trouble and How the Troops
Squclched lt-Sitting Bulls
Implicitly.

ST. Paul Globe: General F. G.. Arm
strong, Indian inspector, who has been
located on the Crow reservation since
the death of Sword bearer, has arrived
in st. Paul. He gave u detailed ac-
count of the causes that led to the re-
cent disturbances on the Crew reserva-
ton, which, he said, had been brewing
for the past two years. The most of the
mischief was done last spring when Sit
ting Bull, with party of Sioux warriors,
numbering about 100, came to the Grow
reservation and pitched his camp
almost within stones throw of the
Custer monument and began to har-
angue the Crows. He made a strong
impression upon the young men of the
latter tribe, and especially when he
began to recount his exploits in his con-
tests with the whites. Another weak
point that he played upon with great
stress was the fact that the Crows did
not receive the same consideration at
the hands of the government that his
warriors did, and he was partly right.
Owing to the fact that the Crows helped
themselves in making a living, they did
not receive as full rations as the Sioux
and especially in the matter of beef
This was not lost sight of by the willy
Sioux chief, and he taunted the Crows
with weakness in permitting such dis
elimination. My people would not
stand it," he said on one occasion. 'and
when the white men would not accede
to our demands we went to war with
them and forced them to give us more
Many of them were killed, as that monu-
ment pointing to the shaft erected to
the memory of General CUSTER will
show you. Don't give in to the white
men, and they will treat you as they
have the Sioux"
Such language inhamed -the young
bucks of the Crow tribe. "There is a
good deal of human nature in an Indian
after all, +" said the general, "and like
readers OF dime novels, they were
anxious to display their powers. And
no one was more instrumental in keep
ing alive this feeling than "Ghees-ta-
Pash," or "Wraps-His-Tail," >" who has
been more recently known as Sword
Bearer. He acquired this last title
from the fact that he carried cavalry
saber, which he told his followers was a
talisman, and all that he had to do was
to point it at the white soldiers and they
would drop dead. AS medicine man
he eXerted powerful influence in the
tribe, and was ably supported by Crazy
Head, who is mixture Of negro, Piegan
and Crow, and Deaf Bull, both Of whom
counseled retalitory measures against
the whites on every occasion. This
trio kept matters at "A fever heat, and it
was at their suggestion that the last
raid was made by the Crows against the
Piegans, during which number Of
horses were taken and the cattle OF the
Indians, and some OF the white settlers
were slaughtered by the raiders.
"Returnlng from their successful
foray about the latter part Of Septem-
Der, Sword Bearer and his party de-
termined 10 fire into the agency build
ings, although they did not evince a
disposition to kill anybody. 1t was

Electricity VS.. Hanging.

Governor G. =. Johnson of st. Louis
says: think the day is not far distant
when the hangman's moose will be done
away with. There are so many things
attendant on u hanging that are not
humane. The horrors Of the human
mind when contemplating such death
have been betrayed in THE Execution"
in the ''Ingodsby Legends" better,
perhaps. than Victor Hugos interpreta-
tion: yet neither of them could describe
that worst of all mems failing-moral
fear. Regardless of the stolid features
when the death warrant is being read,
there is no indication of the awful
mental drama going on in the brain.
1t must of nature be the agony
of agonies. The neck twings and the
adjusted. The knot that is to knock
into instantaneous insensibility the scat
folds vi ctim batters away at the ear
until every muscle of the neck is
stretched to the tension of steel strings;
the veins. like whipcords, are diated
with rushing blood that fires the brain
with the lividness of a hundred hells;
while standing on the trap a man must
die Il dozen deaths before the life spark
expires when the hemp is stretched. I
say that this death is not humane. AS
view it. electricity should be used and
the criminal shocked to death. This is
not only instantaneous, but it could be
administered at an unguarded moment
to the felOn. He should never know
when he was to die, and therefore he
would not be living in that horrid con-
temptation of Il set day. l think the
time is not far distant when this
method of execution will be adopted.
